A man was arrested early Monday after attacking and kidnapping his 70-year-old landlord and leading police on a brief pursuit in Oakland, authorities said.

The incident was reported about 7:45 a.m. on the 600 block of Oak Street, said Officer Johnna Watson, an Oakland Police Department spokeswoman.

The tenant, a man in his 30s, came over and assaulted the landlord’s family member, repeatedly striking the person with a blunt object, Watson said.

Paramedics arrived on scene and rendered aid to the family member.

The suspect then grabbed the landlord and threatened to kill her before shoving her in the back of a car, authorities said. He then intentionally rammed into a patrol car as officers arrived on scene, Watson said.
